I just finished reading The Shack (which I loved) and I’m now reading Ken Follet’s World without End, and it looks to be a book without end (over 1000 pages), but as the sequel to Pillars of the Earth, it’s already started out as a great novel. But school starts on Monday, so I’ll have a whole new set of text books to read.

I loved the comments left after my Article… it’s great mom’s and families like yours that keep the family together!

I agree on you article, parents should let reading be a part of their kids’ upbringing.
The younger you start the better. It makes them use their imagination.

I was always brought books amongst whatever else… I used to fly abroad a lot when my family were well off - lots of holidays. So from the age of like 7-14 I read absolutely loads of books :)

I’ve heard people say that The Shack has changed their life… well, one person, at least, but everyone else I know who read it completely loved it. Isn’t it kind of a sad book, though? Right now I’m reading Eat, Pray, Love and I’m loving it.

The Shack, like any motivational book, forces the reader to push through the sadness to get to the gold. Yes, there is sadness in this book, and some people might not be able to get to the gold, they might not be able to get past the sadness (and it is the sort of devastating sadness we all fear). As always it is a perspective. If I’m giving a motivational speech there are those that relate too much to the negative example and cannot get past that negative perspective. If however you can hear the positive message that transcends the negative, there is success. The same could be said for “The Shack”. I think if you call yourself a Christian you must read this book. But if you are not Christian but deeply spiritual, or searching for spirit in your life it’s a really good place to start.

There’s nothing wrong with Comic books; only I prefer to call them Graphic Novels ;)

And that is the ultimate question anyway right? … Who’s hotter, Veronica or Betty?

Ooh, I really want to read it now. I hope I’m a positive enough person to get the gold out of it. It’ll have to be a time when I can really focus on it, though.

I agree Nellie… read it when you have the time because you may not want to put it down. I sure didn’t (I read it in 3 days, and I’m a slow reader). I don’t know if you can tell, but I really loved the book! :)
